Ishida (left) and Suzuyo Yoshikawa, with Bussoi president Tosh

Betty rendered a Japanese song, Hatoba-de-Sayonara, to win the.
12-aud-under class, while Shizuye performed Kenbu (Japanese clas­
sical dance) to win the over 16 group. Runners-up were Pauline and
Susie Tahara, tap-dancers, and Japanese vocalist Rick Toki. A pack­
ed house of 600 crowded the Ukrainian Hall.

By JOBO NAKAMURA
In Hokubei Mainichi, S. F.

The Nisei shortcomings, me­
thinks. is that they bend over
backward to prove their Ameri­
can identity and look askance at
their Japanese heritage.
As 1 road in the Nisei papers,
there seems to be quite a confu­
sion as to what stand the Nisei
group should take in the relations
between the United States and
Japan with respect to cultural
ties, trade, immigration, etc., etc.
To some of us Nisei who have
been in Japan, the answer seems
quite obvious. We have no na­
tional ties with Japan whatso­
ever. Our only tie is the cultural '
heritage and in this realm, our
role is to interpret to the Ameri­
can people the culture which_ is
Japanese. Vice versa, we can in­
terpret to the Japanese people the
culture which is America.


The rule by thumb is: WHAT
IS GOOD FOR U.S.A. IS GOOD
FOR NISEI. For I keep repeat­
ing the words of a great prede­
cessor, “America is my country,
right or wrong.”

T. Buck Suzuki, first vice-pre­

Canadian fishermen were tired of
being “pushed around like chess
men”. At present, (Nov. 16), with
less than 12 weeks’ fishing

whereas the chief supervisor had
reported fair, good and excellent

years. “It is high time the de­

In Ottawa,' Minister of Fish­

situation is being made, whicn
will be completed well in advance
of the next fishing season.

sponge lubber over the hitting
surface. They took measures to
have the paddle banned and the
tegular paddle, which has a hawl
rubber surface, standardized.
“We are familiar with the
sponge rubber bat but I donk
think that would make a great
deal of difference,” Tanaka said.
“We could adjust, to the other
paddle and do just as well. Our
success lies in our physical con­
dition, instinct and " quickness

When a baby is born in Japan
he is given either a baseball bat
or actable tennis paddle to teethe
on. The table tennis sport is sec­
ond only to baseball in popularity.
Two Million Players
There are some two million
players, nearly half a million re­
gistered competitors. Table ten­
nis is part of all school and uni­
versity sports curricula. Factories
and business houses have recrea­
tion rooms where employees may
play at lunch time or after work.
Tanaka himself has been play­
ing seven y^ears, practicing five
days a weelc while in school but
only twice a week now that he is
an office worker for a big steel
company here.
He hopes to remain champion
for years to come but knows
■sternest opposition must come

“I think outside Japan Zoltan
Berczik of Hungary is the best
player in tile world,” the paddle
champion said, “He can beat Eu­
ropeans without loss of a set. But
as a team the big threat is Red
China.
. ' '
“Red China plays table tennis
like the Japanese—fast and ag­
gressively—but I don’t think
they’re fast enough or aggressive
enough to take us yet.”
